Yes I have tried running sudo apt-get install software-properties-common.
Could you please provide more detail as to what is supposed to be replaced by "debian buster"

I'm not sure what apt repository are you trying to add?
Let's use docker isntallation as an example:
To install docker, you need to run soemthing like:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
Just change the $(lsb_release -cs) to buster
So the command becomes:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian buster stable"
This is becasue the latest deepin is based on debian buster: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBuster#:~:text=Buster%20is%20the%20development%20codename,Release%20and%20updates
Hope it helps.
deepin Hi, thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, running the command you sent above as an example also returns the same error as mentioned in my question.
